Yes, my laptop is ten years old. It doesn't support nvme and its HDD is dying. I need a new one. I'm not going to throw money on a 5000 series Intel laptop with a GPU that has been out of order for five years.

It can't handle AV1 decode even in software. It supports 4K, but not actually fast enough to play back videos in this resolution.

The HDMI port is half broken. Even if I upgraded the other parts, I'm not going to solder a new port.

I also want to support Framework and their goal of repairable and upgradable laptops

This is why I use NixOS in a git repo. I will never be able to successfully recall all the steps I did otherwise

I responded to the wrong comment, I thought this was the thread about elections in Ukraine, haha. I deleted it, but deletions don't propagate between servers quickly

Thousands of Chinese tourists go there for a very strictly controlled vacation every year. As long as they think you're not a threat it's much safer than going to a place with literal warfare going on

Jan 7th is because the Church uses an outdated Julian calendar. On that calendar, there are a different number of leap days than the modern one, so the Julian Dec 25th is the Gregorian Jan 7th

It's not as hard as you think, since you can just copy some other package for a skeleton and substitute your own files. There are just a few files to do a basic package

While nothing here is technically untrue, but it's on purpose misleading

It was the most dangerous instance, but far from the only one. Kyiv also swiftly blamed Russia for the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines last September, a charge repeated by European officials, print media, and countless talking heads on U.S. television, before Western officials all but absolved Moscow and evidence emerged that Europe and the United States had had advance knowledge of a Ukrainian military plot for the attack.

There's no proof that the plot was actually carried out, just the knowledge of it existed several months prior to the sabotage.

There's also no mention of the Kakhovka dam explosion that Ukraine claimed to be Russian doing, while Russia falsely blamed on Ukraine. Later photos confirmed explosives being brought from the Russian side

The average reader, as a result, is left with little reason to doubt [the] claims.

Indeed, this article makes it seem like Ukraine always lies and should not be trusted. The truth, of course, is much more complex

Because they don't exist, the 155mm artillery is being made, the stockpiles are too low

Ukraine will record where they used them to help the demining effort later

Because Ukraine is advancing too slowly. It prolongs the fights in certain areas, allows Russians to shell cities.

If Ukraine were to reach Crimea in the South, the frontline would shrink appreciably.
